Welcome!

The members of Bethlehem Lutheran Church invite you to tour our website, learn more about us, and come to one of our 10:30 a.m. Sunday services.  We hold a traditional service with music from our organist and 15-member choir, and have a "family friendly" program that takes care of your children during the service.  We offer an experience that makes everyone feel welcome.

What do people who come
to Bethlehem say?

"My family and I don't come to Church because we feel we have to --- we come because we want to."

"Our kids really enjoy Bethlehem's Sunday School and Youth Organization and it gives us something to share as a family. And, we like the fact that our children can be in the Activity Center for the 'grown up' portion of the service."

"We were raised in another church, but our family drifted away.  Bethlehem has a Christian service that is familiar to us and is a Church we can truly believe in."

"Bethlehem provides our teenage son a safe, healthy outlet with other kids his age.  He loves it."

"There is a spirit of community here that is reflected in Bethlehem's activities and their entire outlook on life and religion."

"It's so nice to have a place to go each week where things are in their right perspective.  Bethlehem is a moral compass that helps us in so many ways throughout the week.  We're so blessed to be a part of it."
